On July 8th, we lost a bright light far too soon. Our beloved friend Jen passed away suddenly, leaving behind her devoted husband of 24 years and their three children. This GoFundMe is dedicated to easing the road ahead for her grieving family—so they can find stability in the midst of heartbreak and honor her legacy with the grace she lived by.

️Jen was one of those rare souls whose light touched everyone around her. A deeply creative spirit, Jen loved to dream big, write with heart, and surround herself with animals—especially the ones no one else would take in. Her love for nature was as boundless as her imagination.

She was fiercely loyal, endlessly curious, and always a champion for those she loved. Jen cheered me on through some of the hardest and most beautiful chapters of my life. She believed in people with her whole heart—and if you were lucky enough to be one of her people, you knew it.

In the wake of Jen’s unexpected passing, her husband and sons are navigating both emotional devastation and the financial burdens that come with sudden loss. Your contribution will help cover:

* Immediate expenses related to Jen’s passing

* Household needs and living costs during this time of adjustment

* Support for her children’s future stability and wellbeing

This fund is a way to honor Jen’s memory by lifting up the people she loved most—and by coming together, as she so often did, in kindness and care.

Jen lived with compassion, creativity, and quiet strength. Let’s carry that forward by wrapping her family in the support they need right now.

Whether you give, share, or simply hold this family in your heart—Thank you

Some people leave behind gardens. Others leave behind stories. Jen left both.
